Pedal vibration

Hi all.
I have started to get a vibration coming from the pedals, mostly the accelerator. Only happens in D. doesn't matter what speed i'm doing and its only slight but seems to be getting slowly worse.

Any ideas? MY54 with 85k. Flew through an MOT yesterday and they had good look underneath for me and couldn't spot anything.

Could be the front wheel bearings starting to wear out.

It might be the diff also

The reason I said it was that my 1st D3 had the same thing, it felt like a vibration through the floor, and a faint droning sensation. It went on for 1000's of miles until it suddenly got worse. The dealer put it on a lift, and 'drove' the car with the wheels off the ground to isolate the problem.

I have a 2008 LR3 (D3) HSE here in the US. I had a similar vibration experience that increased as speed increased. It was particularly noticeable around 70 mph on up.
Turns out that my front diff had metal shavings in the fluid so... dealer replaced the front diff under warranty - vehicle was at 31k miles.
Then, almost a month ago I felt the same thing again. I had it checked out and turns out that the REAR diff had the same problem - 32k miles.
I bought the vehicle used from my dealer and thankfully have another year-plus on my factory warranty. But the conclusion is that the vibration you're feeling through the gas pedal, as I felt it, is likely from bad bearings wearing in one or both of the differentials. Have it checked out ASAP.

Looking at the year and mileage, it might be worth reading this about gearbox and torque converter from Amondeggs:-

I hope it's not this though.
